Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 (decent selection between Korean and Japanese cuisine. Great sushi) Drinks: 4/5 Seating: 2/5 (very small and tall seat, if you're wearing shorts, knee length dresses or skirts, you're screwed. Those seats hurt as it digs into your skin and leave deep marks after you get up lol) Location: 5/5 Price: $$ out of $$$$$ (not so bad) Overall: 4/5 Food and service didn't "wow" me but I still recommend it. read more

Rubbery , like so rubbery it's unchewable... And fake crab...on everything. The crunch has no texture and the spicy tuna is pureed...its gross. Aviod. read more

The food was very good & the selection of beer & other adult beverages was good. I will return!

This place is a cool little sushi joint. I tasted 4 different types of Specialty Rolls and honestly they all we winning. The Awesome Roll would have to be my favorite. The Seaweed Salad was crisp and fresh with great flavor. The Cocktail selection was plentiful. I handled the Hot Sake it was the perfect balance with my meal. read more

Respectfully I'd never go here again. Food was like so mid. I really don't leave bad reviews but. Food was genuinely some of the worst I've paid for in a long time. I'm saving someone. Sorry y'all read more

One word AWESOME! We had reservations for 8 on a Friday that got messed up at a different restaurant. We came here and they were more than accommodating! James and Bryan were absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was fun and the sushi was GREAT (get the loaded Spring Rolls)! Thank you for turning what was a bad evening into an awesome experience-we genuinely appreciate it! read more

I love this place! My go to roll is the pink lady which I could not recommend more highly. Service is usually always good but I will say the quality of your roll entirely depends on who is there making it. read more

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone else about this place. We plan to come back often and don't want to have to wait. Delicious sushi and more things on the menu that we wanted to try. Atmosphere is fun with loud music, so don't expect to go holding any important business meetings here, but if you have a group of four or so and are in the mood to try new flavors, it might be for you. They have regular sushi rolls on demand, but the menu rolls (I had the Cool Fish Crunch Roll) were the stars of the show. Dumplings and pork sliders were very tasty; would get again. Fish tacos are worth going back for alone. Definitely going back to try the Wagyu beef something....it smelled delicious passing our table. read more

Amazing atmosphere but the staff is bar none. James greeted me at the bar within seconds, and Mike approached me shortly after to ensure I was taken care of. I ended up eating my take out at the bar. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Big fan, great sushi too. The seating area isn't terribly big but anytime I have gone I got a seat no problem. The menu is not big and consists of only specialty rolls if you are looking for sushi. I wish they had a simple spicy tuna roll to add on but no luck. Our service was fine, but the food came out terribly staggered and my roll was only at our table when my dining companion had finished his entire entree of his steak bowl. Great cocktail menu and a really good craft beer selection. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

The food was mediocre at best. Some rolls prepared in advance with dried out rice. The worst part is absolutely ear splitting atrocious non-stop electronic music. Could barely hear the server. I can't imagine any adult would go here a second time. We left without finishing the meal because the atomosphere was so inhospitable. read more

Open till 2a 7 days a week. Cant go wrong with this place, food is always fast and fresh

This was our second trip in... either we got lucky both times or this place really is that good. I call ahead and ask fir a table (it's the times we are in) we walked right in to our table both times. Ordered drinks which were both fresh craft cocktails. The drink list is really good! So many specialty drinks to choose from. Both times the service is custom. The staff seems to pull together and constantly looking around to insure everyone is getting what they need. It was very busy with people waiting outside but the staff seemed to handle is really well... The food came out amazingly fast. I ordered the same roll twice! It was that good I highly recommend this place. We are planning date night very soon Their Facebook even offers a free sushi roll promotion and we did not cash in on it because we are going back! read more

First they didn't have my reservation I made the day before. Then, they didn't want to accommodate date us until I ask for the manager . Then they gave us our meals before our appetizer. Then , our bill was double of what it should have been and took them forever to fix it. Never ever going there again. Food was good but awful service not worth it at all. read more

We dined for the first time in Friday night. We had some sushi rolls and my wife had them make up a Poke Bowl. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back more often. read more

This is a great place to visit for a date night or drinks with friends. Would not suggest for groups larger than 4. Sushi bar right in line with the regular bar. Great beer selections, and I definitely dig that they do a 10 ounce and 16 ounce pour. They also have cocktails on the menu (here fishy fishy fishy! Cornelius has been waiting on you; Cool Fish is open til 2 AM!) Started with the tacos and sampled one of each (shrimp, steak, and pork.) They were all absolutely delicious, well balanced, and visually appealing. Ordered 4 different rolls to share. They were a little skinnier than I was expecting for the price, but they were very good. One was not better than the other. We tried Tiger Roll, Cali Dream, Awesome Roll, Crazy Tuna. I really appreciated the thicker cuts of fish on the tops. They were generous with the sauces as you can see in the photos. The absolutely only drawback is the price. Would stop in for a beer or an appetizer, as those are some of the biggest draws to me. Well done, Cool Fish! Hook, Line, and Sinker. read more

I'm not too impressed, unfortunately. I received an ad on facebook for a BOGO free sushi bowl. I clicked that I was interested, and then, cue the mayhem. After countless messages of "redeem today" "would you like to use this" "this expires soon!!", we caved and went to try. They had only ~3 varieties of bowls to choose from (odd they chose BOGO on bowls?). They were fine. Not a lot of fish, but there was a lot of dressing. The fish didn't taste super fresh, and it just was an overall eh experience. And yes, I did receive MORE messages over facebook to come back. read more

First time here! We are sushi lovers and have high expectations. The food and the service were outstanding. We will definitely be back. Tried to take as many pics as we could! A must try!! read more

I got the Hawaiian bowl this evening. Great food and drinks. Excellent service and food. Thanks so much!

Updated....finally had a chance to eat at your location instead of take out. FYI parents like sushi too...would be nice if ya'll had high chairs...sushi was great as usual. Shrimp taco was awesome! Your satay though- not so great...more like a charred flavorless kabob :( read more

If you are looking for a fusion of "you don't matter" and "we don't care" try this place. A loyal customer for five years, the past three weeks have been miserable; call in orders half done, and in person orders done so poorly you can't justify returning or recommending. read more

Good sushi, and the hours of operation are awesome. Who doesn't like sushi at midnight? Service was great, we'll definitely be back.

First off the seating in there is horrible. Tried sitting at a high-top and it was like trying to relax on a bicycle seat. Moved to a regular table and then it got interesting. Ordered the plantain w avocado and shrimp but the plantain cups seemed cold and stale. Got the short ribs and they were way too fatty and chewy. THEN the flies showed up. We were inside and had 4 flies attacking our space. I get it when you're outside but dang, it was horrible inside with air conditioning. I think I'm done w this place and gonna go somewhere more comfortable with better food. read more

delish sushi! open till two am was moving my friend in and needed a late night meal and this was perfect

I've gone 3 times and the 1st time the food and DJ were great but the service was my issue. That night the credit card machine was down and I understand technology but my wife and I sat there for a while and no one came over and finally I flagged someone down and had to pay the owner with Venmo. No big deal but it would have been nice if the manager would have come over and apologized for the inconvenience or maybe offered something if we came back. 2nd time was for lunch and the server completely forgot what I had ordered and the place was empty .3rd time and I went back because the food is actually damn good and the DJ and music is too. This time I sat at the bar and my server was ok but no one else at the bar ever asked me if I was ok or needed something and I sat for more then 5 minutes with an empty beer glass and I did it on purpose to see how long it would take before someone noticed. I was watching all the action behind the bar and I'm a pretty good people reader and I couldn't tell you who the manager was because no one seemed to be managing. In my opinion all the people behind the bar should work as a team and they worked as individuals. It's too bad because service can ruin the evening if it is bad no matter how good the food is. Cool fish can be a really good place but management needs to check itself and wake up. read more

This place is amazing. Been coming for years. Only recommendation is to turn off "Cool Fish TV" which no one cares about, and have sports on! Other than that - love this place! read more

Very good food. Sushi rolls were great. Staff was super sweet & friendly. Great new addition to the area. read more

Over priced. Tiny shots. They used jigger but it was in tablespoons. I watched 2 tablespoons go in my glass. That's 1 ounce. I mentioned it to bartender. He said "that's why we use jiggers". Won't be back. read more

I've only been coming here for a about 6 months, but I've never had one issue with their food or service! They typically have phenomenal service and a great attitude (Very Very Kind) even when it's packed. I usually get the miso soup(and always order takeout), it's very good and very fairly priced! I have gotten the chicken ramen as well and it's different if you're not used to food like that, but was still very good!They even have a DJ there some nights! Pretty cool place! Good place for some late night food and drinks! read more

Very contemporary vibe along with incredibly loud music. Walked in on a Friday night, tables available both inside and out. Had a great waitress, manager and other waiter checking on us throughout the night. We were disappointed by the spicy edamame, just steamed with red pepper flakes thrown on top. Complained to waitress, she was very accommodating but we were not interested in a substitute. We shared 3 rolls, all good, but nothing great compared to other sushi restaurants we've tried. Appreciated the manager's offer of a discounted appetizer on our next visit which will not happen. Good bar and beer selections. The hot entrees looked very interesting. Great location and nice ambience, but sushi average. read more

Excellent food and fresh! Love that they have vegan options. Excellent staff and service every time.

This place is fantastic! Best sushi I've ever had. Love the pink lady roll and the happy happy joy joy roll.

Cool fish is amazing with incredible food and service. It's must. The atmosphere is so welcoming and fun!

Stumbled on this place and fell in love. They have a great indoor / outdoor space. The day I was there a dj was playing. Great beer selection and awesome food. Mainly sushi, but some other eclectic choices. I love this place and may be my new fav. read more

Best "new to us" place in LKN area. We have cravings for their fun menu that is so well done and includes everything from sushi to tacos and matching saki and tequila plus great options for vegans. Outstanding rolls, bowls and tacos. Service is always on point. Go here! Support this great local restaurant! read more

Amazing sushi, fresh fish, great vibe, dj playing at night! Specialty rolls are outstanding! Delicious appetizers too! Highly recommend!

I come here occasionally and service is decent foods okay but tonight I ordered some ramen and it was horrible and there was almost no noodles and barely any broth not to mention it was luke warm at best this random guy next to me got the exact same bowl of ramen and had almost triple the amount of food in his bowl and it was steaming hot I'm extremely disappointed read more
